Dennis Prager can go #^(% himself.

Anyone who doesn't know that the United States Constitution explicitly forbids "religious tests" for public office, is too damned ignorant to comment on the matter. That the religious right-wing idiot in question is Jewish, and that the the religious right-wing idiots of old wanted to use such tests to keep "Christ Killers" like him out of office, makes him a hypocrite as well as an idiot.

What's especially delicious, if it's true, is this nugget I found on Digg...

... basically it says there is no "swear on the Bible" rule and Prager made the whole thing up. Ahhh, gotta love them Neocons.

There's a bit in the debate over the Bill of Rights in about 1791 where someone tried to add a clause to what became the 2nd Amendment to exempt Quakers, Mennonites, and other religious pacifists from militia duty. It was voted down. Why? Because it was pointed out by a delegate that it was 1791, the modern era, that everyone was a Deist, more or less, and that chances were that Christianity could die out in 50 years or so and make them all look ridiculous for having included the clause in the Constitution. He thought that would be sad, but didn't think government should have any part in keeping it alive.

Dennis Prager is a nutcase. Proof that there are nuts in every religion.
